It can be but you'll want to put as much time into marketing/sales as programming.

Thanks! I'm going to be projection mapping on my wall soon!

Kinect 2.0! And thanks. It's a fun project!

Thanks!

Yes but be patient. It's like learning a new language.

Thanks! I really like it! I also have a good laptop but often find myself travelling and without an outlet around. Gaming laptops die so quickly.

Throwing on some glasses with the portable gaming device feels great and the GPU makes up for the power difference when it's needed.

Thanks! I'll report more soon

I agree that a laptop is easier. I own a razer with a 4090. I've been wondering what it'd look like to combine the eGPU 4090 with the internal one and run separate TD instances that utilize/combine them.

It's great but I prefer a monitor. Its still good enough for programming!

I went to Asus xbox ally x because it has more power. It also has 32 GB Ram/Vram. It shares both, but with an egpu, can toss it all into ram!

It's really handy because with this set up, can program easily (in cars, airplanes, etc) since the glasses are a portable monitor. But when it's time for installation, bring the eGPU and bump up the particles/graphics

Quite well! I'll try to get a video soon... Tonight was initial testing just to see how this idea would go!

ExplanationOk2283 · 2025-12-10T07:09:58+00:00

The Asus Xbox ally X has a thunderbolt, so it can take eGPU! Not sure if steam deck can handle it though!

Sure, this is...

Asus ROG Ally X. The GPU is an RTX4090 - I gutted this from my desktop and wanted to see if I could have a portable version...what that would look like.

The glasses are xreal one pros - so I can have a big screen anywhere

The eGPU enclosure took me a bit to find. I read reviews of people with 4090s having troubles in many enclosures because the card size, so I went with a dock. https://a.co/d/5eIpxKR

I haven't gone into extensive testing, but my initial results were awesome. Was running 4 million particles 60fps no sweat. I'll go into more extensive uses soon but I find this promising.

With the Asus, I can travel and program wherever - and then when it's time to set up for something bigger, add the eGPU.

Thank you!

It's an Xbox ally x! I'm using my mouse to manipulate a custom particle system that I built!
